What Happened to Sample Templates in CS4?

In CS3, there were many examples of pages that were already complete... when you first bring up CS3, you select:
New...
More...
Page From Sample...
Starter Page (Theme)...
And then you could select from such items as Restaurants, Health and Nutrition, Personal Training... etc.
These seem to have disappeared in CS4. Is there another more robust location in Adobe that contains these samples? Starting with a blank page is so much more time-consuming.
Ideas?
Thanks,

You could look at the Templates at the Adobe Site - I've not used them,so can't vouch for how easy they are to use etc., but may be worth a look:

CS4 also has some CSS predefined templates as well:New>Blank Page>HTML> and choose the template from the Layout box.

What happened to "weighted optimization" in CS4

In Photoshop CS3 and earlier, weighted optimization of JPEGs could be achieved by using the "Use channel to modify quality setting" button just to the right of the Quality setting in the Save for Web and Devices dialog box. This option no longer appears in Photoshop CS4. Does anyone know what happened to it or what can be used in its place in CS4?

hey but what about the lots of users who find this functionality very cool & useful indeed?
Is there a work around (I mean a simple & practical one)? Is there a compensating 3rd party plug-in?

Pages 5.0 ...what happened to the templates?

So... I just updated, and I read that there were new templates. However, they removed a lot of the old ones.
AND ALL THE ONES THAT I USED!!!!
Is there a way of getting them back? I still have the old version of Pages, so is there a way of importing the templates that I was using????
I'm confused and very frustrated!!!

Pages 5 is a stripped down bersion of Pages and can't open most of the older templates.
Sounds like you should stick with Pages '09. That means turning off iCloud because it will convert your .pages documents into the newer format.

What happened to printing templates???

I used to print tons of photos using the "customize" toolbar in iPhoto, it offered so many amazing border and background themes. These seem to have been removed??? Really bummed about this, is there any way to regain this function??? If not, any similar apps/programs that could replicate? The current print options are far too boring and plain...

The borders in iPhoto are gone.
Try the BorderFX plug-in. You can use it to add borders to your photo when exporting from iPhoto for printing. It is very versatile and lets you add text and the annotations to the photo as well.

What happened with TD BACKGROUND in CS4 ?

We used to have the TD Background textfield value in the properties even in CS3 ... but now I need to use it and I no find the way unless I write it in HTML... where is that issue now ?
Thanks in advance,

It wasn't deprecated by Adobe, but by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) - nearly a decade ago. Deprecated in HTML 4.0 and HTML 4.01 Transitional in 1999, but already obsolete in HTML 4.01 Strict in 1999 and XHTML 1.01 in 2000.

Why bgcolor specifically?
This attribute has been deprecated in favor of style sheets for specifying background color information.
Ref: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/present/graphics.html#adef-bgcolor
Why deprecated elements and attributes - generally?
Experience has shown that separating the structure of a document from its presentational aspects reduces the cost of serving a wide range of platforms, media, etc., and facilitates document revisions.

In Pages I used to be able to edit a template and "save a version" to update the template. Now i have to rename the template to save the changes. Why is this happening? what happen to "save a version"? its no longer an option under "file".

In Pages, In the past, I was able to edit a template and "save a version" to update the template. Now i have to rename the template to save the changes. Why is this happening? what happen to "save a version"? its no longer an option under "file". And I can no longer open the actual template, when template is clicked, it automaticaly opens an "untitled" version???

In your description you say the first document opens as the Title you gave it.
Templates always open as Untitled so it sounds like you have saved a regular document, perhaps into your templates folder which is possible.
Since you have already worked on it and it has been previously saved, Lion will now Save for you and Save a Version is available
The other document does open as Untitled so sounds like a real template and as Peggy has pointed out will not have either Revert nor Save a Version until you Save it and have changed something in it.
This is a classic example of just how Apple's supposedly "simplification" of the process, is leading to confusion of what has happened. That the conditions and resulting actions from those conditions is so convoluted says it all.
It all reminds me of the Monty Python Life of Brian sketch with the "simplified" John Cleese instructions to the class, as to if you have a brother in an older dorm whether to hang your hat and bag on the hooks provided. The trouble is Apple does not get the joke, that it is transforming itself into a frequently self contradictory bumbling bureacracy. The price of unchallenged self appointed geniushood.
The incoherent half baked stumbling juggernaut has reached new triumphs with its edict on enforced Sandboxing on developers when it is unable to follow even its own instructions.

What happened to the Adobe file dialog in CS4?

Am I missing something or is the adobe open file dialog gone in CS4? I loved the ability to assign favorite folders on the left margin since I have so many files and drilling down into folders is such a repetitive chore! What happened?
Also, don't know if anyone else has encountered this but it appears that since I installed CS4 master collection several of my most often used open type fonts are no longer recognized: Cronos Pro and Myriad Pro.

Yup, the "Adobe Dialog" seems to be gone, gone, gone ...
In terms of the fonts, where were those fonts installed? I also have full families of Cronos Pro and Myriad Pro installed on all my systems outside of the suite and have not encountered any problems is their use after installing the CS4 Master Collection. Are those same fonts still visible in the Windows Fonts Control Panel and accessible from other applications? If so, you may want to delete all the
AdobeFnt##.lst files on your system and then startup a suite program and see if that fixes the AWOL fonts.

Flash CS4 Sample Templates are missing

My sample templates are missing, all that shows now are Cateregory: Advertising and different size banners. I searched my harddrive and found the rood folder where they are stored but only the folder for Advertising exist.
I haven't deleted anything, so could it have been a glitch at installation, I had startup problems with Flash constantly crashing at the splash screen and finally had to uninstall and reinstall.
Running WinXP SP3.

Thanks for replying.
I do remember them being part of an earlier version maybe MX. Did some checking around as I was under the assumption they were part of CS4 due to some diagrams found on pages 264-265 of "Flash CS4: The Missing Manual". The bottom line is it is now listed in their Errata.

What happened to the Adobe Help Viewer or Center for CS4?

What happened to the great help program that CS2 and then CS3 had? I don't seen any such program for CS4!!!!
Thanks, --bill

The help system has been changed again. If you are online the Help menu takes you to the Adobe Community Help Center (link to help is on the right), otherwise it loads a local copy from your computer.
You can use the PDF copy of the manual on your installation discs or download it from the Community Help Center.

How can I get the standard Adobe CS4 sample templates, like the photo slideshow? Thanks

I just got Flash CS4. I think it is supposed to have several categories of templates. I only have the advertising category. How can I get the standard Adobe CS4 sample templates, like the photo slideshow? I cannot find anyplace on the Adobe.com site for template downloads.
Thanks
Mark

I have the same question-- I don't see any template categories apart from "Advertising"-- where are they?

CS4 - What happened to InDesign Contact Sheet Tool?

I used this feature all the time. I guess one is supposed to use the "output" feature instead, but it's useful in many cases to have an InDesign file.

David,
The script takes advantage of InDesign's templating features to do exactly what you want.
The first thing you'll do is create an InDesign template of exactly what you want your document to look like (without the images). In that template, you can set the page margins (the script honors them), and set the styles that control the appearance of the image frames, caption frames, and caption text. You also place static text, such as your copyright and ordering message, as well as your logo and anything else you'd like to have on the page.
To set the style of the image frames, create an object style with the name "images". Some of the features of an object style are control over the fill, stroke, corner options, transparency, drop shadow, feathering, bevel and emboss, etc.
To set the style of the caption frames, create an object style named "captions".
To set the paragraph style of the caption text, create a paragraph style named "labels".
If you don't create these styles, the script creates them for you, so you can adjust all the frames and text just by modifying the styles.
You can also tell the script to directly save the resulting sheet to PDF, and you can set which PDF preset to use when saving.
By mid-day tomorrow, I'll have an example on my site that includes a sample template file and sample output using that template file.
Thanks
Bob

What happened to right click on file name in Indesign CS4?

I just upgraded to CS4, does anyone know what happened to being able to right click on indesign (open) file name to see where on your system it is filed? I can still do this in other programmes.

Firefox doesn't have such context menu entries for "Open Bookmark ...". So it looks that there has been a problem with the extension that added them and that started working again.

What happened to dreamweaver file created in xp when opened in vista?

I created a dreamweaver site in CS4 on windows xp, but recently upgraded to vista home premium. After I downloaded dreamweaver on vista, and restored my files, the Design and Code view shows unreadable text or code on my homepage html file. All of the other html files are normal. Attached is a sample of what my home page file looks like in design or code view. What happened to my file?

Your attachment didn't attach. Not your fault; they frequently don't.
To check out this unreadable text issue, go to your Edit > Preferences > Fonts and make sure that the fonts that are chosen are available on your new vista system. That should help with errors in Code View. If you are having Design View unreadability (!) check the header of your page to make sure that there is a declaration like this one:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
It will appear right after the DOCTYPE declaration (in Code View).
It's pretty disappointing when a new system isn't actually BETTER right away! My sympathy.

What happened to Basic Text ?

About a year ago I put together a long sequence of dissolving titles in CS3 using Effect > Text > Basic Text. I just opened that project in CS4 hoping to use it as a template for a new sequence - but found that the Basic Text option had disappeared, and that although I can see the words from last year, the CS4 Type Tool can't get hold of them. What happened ? Is my CS3 sequence a bit map ?

By the way, basic text is in the obsolete folder, so you may want to learn the standard text tools as i guess it will disapear in some upcoming versions.
They are much much more powerfull
